 20  BLE MIDI service for CircuitPython
 21  
 22  
 23  Dependencies
 24  =============
 25  This driver depends on:
 26  
 27  * `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
 28  
 29  Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
 30  This is easily achieved by downloading
 31  `the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>`_.
 32  
 33  Installing from PyPI
 34  =====================
 35  .. note:: This library is not available on PyPI yet. Install documentation is included
 36     as a standard element. Stay tuned for PyPI availability!
 37  
 38  On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
 39  PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-ble_midi/>`_. To install for current user:
 40  
 41  .. code-block:: shell
 42  
 43      pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ble-midi
 44  
 45  To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
 46  
 47  .. code-block:: shell
 48  
 49      sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ble-midi
 50  
 51  To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
 52  
 53  .. code-block:: shell
 54  
 55      mkdir project-name && cd project-name
 56      python3 -m venv .env
 57      source .env/bin/activate
 58      pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ble-midi
 59  
 60  Usage Example
 61  =============
 62  
 63  .. code-block:: python
 64  
 65      """
 66      This example sends MIDI out. It sends NoteOn and then NoteOff with a random pitch bend.
 67      """
